BEMIDJI, Minn. – Bemidji State University Men's Hockey freshman defenseman Isa Parekh was named the Central Collegiate Hockey Association Defenseman of the Week for his efforts in helping the Beavers to a five-point weekend against Bowling Green State University.
 
Parekh (Nobleton, Ont.) earns his second CCHA weekly nod for the second time this season after previously earning the league's Rookie of the Week on Nov. 25.
 
Parekh helped the Beavers take 5-of-6 points from their weekend series with Bowling Green, dishing out two assists and posting a +3 rating. On Friday, he assisted on the game-winning goal in a 3-2 Beavers victory, before setting up the tying goal, with 11 seconds left in regulation, in a 2-1 overtime win on Saturday. For the week, he collected two shots on goal and two blocks defensively.
 
He was joined by Minnesota State's Josh Groll (Forward) and Alex Tracy (Goaltender) and Michigan Tech's Elias Jansson (Rookie) as the league's weekly award winners for Feb. 24.
 
Parekh and the rest of the Beavers look to continue their hot streak into the final weekend of the regular season and travel to No. 17 Minnesota State this weekend for a two-game, league series.
